Excellent for my StudentsWe purchased this as a second unit to paint 50 sheets of 1/2 plywood that were assembled into individual cubicles for our school. Eight high school students were trained by other students to use this gun to paint 15 gallons of paint over a three week class time period. Meaning it was cleaned 15+ times and had 15+ startups. Only one student produced runs with the unit and all the rest were comfortable using it after 15-20 minutes of training. I am impressed as it used latex straight from the bucket and performed excellent with a one application coverage on raw wood. We normally use a primer however the students wanted to try it direct and it worked well.
When we need a another gun, we'll buy this one again. The first unit was a Graco with the collapsible paint containers, works well, but very difficult to prime, extreme long clean up time and most students after trying both, loved the Wagner.

Works great once.I used this sprayer for one room when I first bought it. I cleaned the sprayer and put it away. It's been sitting for about a year. Well I need it again to paint the rest of my house, now all it does is "SPLATTER" paint on the walls. There is no smooth flow of pain, no matter what I do it will not flow smoothly from the nozzle. DON'T WASTE YOUR MONEY. If you use it once fine, but don't let it sit it wont be the same again.

Be very careful how you clean and store partsSprayer works reasonably well, better if you thin latex a little first. My biggest problem with it is storage after cleanup. Generally I'm accustomed to disassembling the air cap and storing them submerged in appropriate solvent (water for latex) until next use. That's how I care for my automotive HVLP paint guns (made out of metal) and the approach works really well. However, as I just found out by surprise - if you use this gun with a solvent/oil based paint, don't try storing the plastic parts in the cup submerged in mineral spirits. The large ring that screws onto the painter body is made out of a material that will react with mineral spirits and will swell (or the white plastic ring will shrink - or both), making it impossible to reassemble the air cap the next time you want to use the gun.

Cabinets!, lots of cabinets.We purchased our dream retirement home in so. AZ 2 weeks ago and are busy making it our own. The first priority is to get the kitchen done. We have 60 cabinet faces and drawer fronts to paint; 60! Started out with using a roller and brush going nowhere fast. Spent a day on just 7 pieces. Decided to try a sprayer and bought the paint ready one which wasn't the one I was looking for but couldn't find the other well rated cheaper one, I have never used a sprayer before so have no biases one sprayer against another, however the Wagner name is front and center. It's been really hot here and trying to paint with un thinned latex is a challenge, the working time wasn't there. Reading a review I came across a thinner called Floetrol and decided to try it and it performs beautifully. I was spraying in 90*+ temps. We are using Behr ultra satin base. The paint pot on the sprayer is graduated and I settled on 35oz's of paint and added 5oz's of Floetrol to it. At that rate the paint flowed perfectly. I only had to wipe the front of the nozzle free of paint in between startups. It took some trial and error on test pieces to get familiar with the unit and find the desired flow rate adjustment, but once done it's set. Only 5-10 minutes cleanup which is a snap. We couldn't be happier with the resulting outcome of our work! It looks like a factory original/professionally done job. Best $100 bucks I've spent in a long time. Thank you Wagner! Tom D.

Need Mechanic to keep unclogged!The Wagner Paint Ready Sprayer saves time and works great for hard to reach areas to paint. I have fencing and a horse stable as long as my mechanic was with me to unclog it every three minutes we could keep it running. I have spent a majority of my summer trying to unclog this machine. The solution was to have my mechanic on stand by. The videos on line only tell you how to clean out part of the machine. The mechanic has to completely disassemble it to clean it. I have taken it to the Lowes Store and the sales associates do not understand what to do. Today I have spent another whole day of vacation fighting with this Wagner Paint Ready Sprayer. Unless my mechanic can come by tonight I am throwing it in the river. And in case anyone is wondering I do use Floetrol and read the directions carefully.

First time userI borrowed a Control Spray from a relative only to find it would not spray latex paint. I searched your website to find one that would. I chose the PaintReady. After reading the reviews I carefully read the instructions, twice. I took the sprayer apart to familiarize myself with it. I had a little trouble with spattering on the first 2 gallons. I ran out of paint and sent the wife after more and while she was gone I cleaned the sprayer. It took me longer to take it apart and clean it than it did to use the first 2 gallons of paint. I chalk that up to inexperience. The next 2 gallons went so smooth it scared me. Again experience helps. I would recommend this product to my friends. It saved me 12 hours at least over rolling.

Good little sprayerI had good luck with this sprayer. I sprayed unthinned latex exterior paint. I had no issues with spray pattern. I think a lot of people that have bad luck either a) are expecting professional commercial results from a entry level $100 sprayer or b) don't read the directions and follow what it says. It's not a pull the trigger and go. You have to wait a few seconds for the turbine to start spinning, then release the paint. Also, it is stated that this sprayer will produce a textured spray similar to painting with a roller. So buying this sprayer for smooth finish projects is their own fault. Not the sprayers. Overall I'm pleased with the performance.

Can you spray dryfall paint with the paint ready spray gun?

Asked by: John 417

You can. Like most paints, it may require some thinning. Keep in mind the point of this paint is to dry faster, which isn't conducive to spraying in general. For help with thinning and adjustments, call us at 1-800-328-8251.

Do you have a sprayer that can spary interior latex, on walls that you do not have to tape and cover everything. &nbsp;If that has to be dome I'll stick to the rollers and brush.

Asked by: ChrisStorm

We have sprayers that will spray interior latex and give you a minimum of overspray but any time you spray you will have some overspray so you will need to cover anything you do not want to get paint on. If you would like to discuss your project with us feel free to give us a call at 1-800-328-8251.

Wondering why I went through a gallon of primer and only did a closet and one wall. Seems like a lot to cober so little

Asked by: Paul71

Some of it could be the over spray you might have gotten. Or maybe you got a lot of extra coverage from moving slower than necessary. Hard to say really. You could give us a call at 800-328-8251 and maybe we can troubleshoot further to find out. Thanks for your inquiry.

What's a good dilution ratio for spraying with oil based paint?

Asked by: Chili Dog

5-10% mineral spirits into your oil based paint or stain should be sufficient. Never thin more than 20%. Good luck with your project! For more tips call 800-328-8251.

I have two of these PaintReady Sprayers and they both do not spray well. I inspected them both and found hair line cracks on both tips of the nozzles. What would cause this? Did I over adjust the material flow adjustment to tight in the low position?

Asked by: jsie508

Cracks in the nozzle can be caused any number of ways. Usually its just worn out from usage and cleaning and will crack. Obviously dropping the sprayer or individual nozzle can do that. Cleaning too hard or even solvents can cause this. I doubt it was due to adjusting too low or too tight. Hard to say, but you can get more nozzles by ordering part number 2343747 online or from a dealer near you. For any further help you can contact our Technical Service at 800-328-8251. Thanks for contacting Wagner!
